My 2009 “Must Watch” list

Published January 23, 2009 | By Shawn

I subscribe to several feeds that contain trailers for upcoming movies. What I’ve always meant to do, but have never done, is keep a “must watch” list for the current year’s new releases.

Well, I’m remedying that, right now.

Below are the movies I’m most looking forward to in 2009. As I watch them, I’ll update this post with links to my 60SMR for each movie.

  • Watchmen – releases March 6 – easily my most anticipated movie of 2009. I’ll see this one on opening weekend
  • Outlander – releases January 23 – I’m a sucker for B+ movies (not the schlock you see on the SciFi channel on weekends though, ugh)
  • The Mutant Chronicles – releases April 24 – another indie scifi flick that looks like good solid fun
  • Terminator: Salvation – releases May 22 – are you seeing a trend yet?
  • X-Men Origins: Wolverine – releases May 1 – While X3 was somewhat weak the trailer for Wolverine looks fantastique (I rhymed!)
  • Where the Wild Things Are – releases October 16 – supposedly the first “version” of this movie was scrapped and it’s being reshot. Word is, though, the first version was simply too awesome for movie studios
  • Funny People – releases July 31 – from the maker of 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up

There’s more but, because I didn’t maintain any sort of list until now, I can’t remember them. I’ll add them as I remember them, though.

Now, the fun part.

It’s your turn. What movies are you looking forward to in 2009?

    Since they won't be out over here until 2010, I have no idea. I'll stay tuned in here though so I can look for them.

    The usual Chick flicks, which by the looks of your list, I won't even mention mine. We do netflix, so I don't even know what movies are out now.

      I'm not looking for movies *like* mine. Name yours!

    I wouldn't have said so before watching the trailer at the theater this weekend, but the new Star Trek movie looked really cool. I'm not a Star Trek fan, but now I want to see the movie.

      YES! I knew I forgot one on my list. Thanks for the reminder. It's funny to read posts from hard-core Trek nerds throwing a fit about the "new" Trek.
